Rick, what changes have been made?

Or are you meaning the processing? I have not heard of any changes but would
be willing to contact congresspersons on this issue if necessary.

This is a case of letting your farm organizations know that we need to be
wary against anything that would make it more difficult for direct marketing
farmers.

If you could give us the specifics, I know I can also get support from
GrassWorks, our state grazing organization. Every little bit helps.

Sincerely,

Rick Williams
